This makes no sense. The way it’s described, they stood up a lap early. They should have known the lap count regardless of what she did.

This is incredible.
Women sports are still the best in terms of pure entertainment (i.e. not from a sports perspective).

This confused me too but I think I've figured it out. I'm sure that there is a lap counter displayed somewhere for the benefit of the skaters. Because the leader was at the rear of the lead pack, the lap counter would turn over as soon as she crossed the finish line - i.e., not long after the girls who thought they were leading crossed the line. So it wasn't that they forgot what lap they were on, it was that when they thought they were on lap 3 (which they were) the counter showed it was lap 4, and they must have assumed that they had miscounted or forgotten a lap somewhere.
